Inspire Me Forward
Inspire Me Forward is a series of conversations where guests from all walks of life and every corner of the world Share Their Stories.
We are now in Season 6: Inspire Me Equine
It came into our hearts that Equine Leadership and Inspire Me Forward should collaborate and delve into the Horse~Human relationship and the paradigm that is the herd.
Equine Leadership (www.equineleadership.ca) is a publication of short stories sharing the voice and wisdom of the horse, now going into its 11th year. Inspire Me Forward (in its 3rd year) is a podcast sharing stories of life and all of the pieces that hold it together, even when it might feel like it's falling apart.
This moment in time seemed like the perfect evolution of the two and it felt natural to invite the horses and authors from Equine Leadership. In this space, they will share their own unique ways of bringing the voice and wisdom of the horse to the human world.
Equine Leadership has a unique vision: We believe that horses, living as close to nature as possible, can provide a paradigm of living that is clear, authentic, and heart-based. There is much to learn that is good for all of humanity, as well as the collective that we call Earth. Spending time observing and interacting with the paradigm of the horses is a move to simplify life, to connect with something profound and enlightening. Their natural way of life offers insight into our truest paths. When we step outside of the ring and into the herd, we experience a relationship of equity and compassion.
At Inspire Me Forward, our belief is that we inspire others when we share our stories and share a collective connection. We let each other know that they are not alone in this big, beautiful world. "The courage it takes to share one's story might be the very thing someone else needs to open their heart to a brighter tomorrow".

Inspire Me Forward #24 Years Together with Rosanne Morphy & Phoenix Berry
Inspire Me Forward, Episode #24 is the first of our Years Together conversations. My guests, Rosanne Morphy of Saskatchewan and Phoenix Berry of Ontario joined in a tender discussion from each of their generational perspectives. Rosanne is from the Baby Boomer generation and Phoenix is from Gen Z.
We have moved into Season 3 of Inspire Me Forward with the title: Share YOUR Story. Staying open to receiving the stories that wish to be told. Sharing journeys of life, love, and everything in between.
Years Together offers a deep sense of connection, profound wisdom of the past, and a promise for the future in the here and now. Instead of the common phrase of people being years apart, we wanted to bring generations together and have an intergenerational shared discussion. To talk about that which we have in common and that which is different. How we were brought up and how we grew up. What we know and what we have yet to learn. And the wisdom we have found along the way.
We have entitled this episode: Generations Weaving Reflections
Rosanne (65) and Phoenix (22) shared their journeys through life thus far and each expressed the joys and the trials they went through growing up. This led us into a discussion of how they both found ways to cope with any challenges they faced. We spoke of family traditions steeped in generations past and how those evolved with the passage of time. Each finding their own way to make changes in those traditions while always honouring those we hold close.
Both of my guests brought a question for each other.
Phoenix posed the question: If you could tell your younger self one thing, what would it be and why?
Rosanne posed the question: What was one thing as a child/teen that you wanted to hear that would have made a significant impact on you?
Their answers will touch your heart and certainly have you asking yourself those same questions.
I added the question: What would you say to each other’s collective generation? Once again, check out their answers. Profound.
Our time went so quickly and it is my hope we can continue to bring generations together to talk, learn, and grow in this ever-changing world. To bring years together instead of experiencing years apart.
Thank you, ladies, for a most powerful and heart-expanding discussion. Thank you for joining me in our Inspire Me Forward circle and offering your wisdom from your perspective. With the utmost of gratitude for your sharing and openness to offer your wisdom to the world.
